North and Center Army groups report success!
Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein +21
As can be seen, the elements that initially closed the encirclement have pushed hard for Lille. However, concerted allied counter-attacks means that control of the region is switching a lot, at once I saw us take control, 12 hours later to have it in allied hands, then 5 hours later in ours again!
Student, with help of one of the infantry korps of Army group center (can't recall the commander) helped gain control of Antwerp and eradicate a few divisions in doing so.
Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein +28
The pocket is crushed, thus freeing up many infantry units.
I plan on sending Student to capture Lille once and for all and using the other two units, the Volksturm units and that containing regular Wehrmacht units down to capture Luxembourge and Bastogne.
Hitler, being pleased at having us capture Antwerp gives us more supplies (we'd been running low on oil at the end of the last series of attacks) and orders us to stand firm!
Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein + 35
Beginnings of another encirclement around Bastogne. If I can break my units free of southern Germany and into Strasbourg I can possibly capture up to 25 enemy divisions
Should I stand firm after I've pushed back the Allied salient? Or continue pressing on to Paris and Troyes
